USDA Inspection Report: 1 Jun 2011

Code: 03J02Violation: 381.66(b)

Citation: At approximately 0820 hrs while
performing a scheduled 03J02 procedure the following non-compliance
was observed. With a calibrated thermometer provided by the qc
staff, I began taking temperatures of whole chickens exiting the
chiller at CCP-3A. The temperature readings ranged from 45 to 50
degrees. I immediately informed production manager and QC of the
non-compliance. Product was retained and tag #B40954006 was applied.
QC staff retained the remaining product in cooler applying a blue
label and monitoring the temperature. At this time loading dock
employees were seen taking product that was still clearly labeled
and retained by the QC staff before the temperatures were back down
to 40 degrees or below and before being released by the QC staff to
complete shipping orders. This is in violation of but not limited to
9 CFR 381.66(b). This NR is linked to NR# 0019-2011-17823 issued on
5/24/11. This document serves as written notification that your
failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in
additional regulatory or administrative action. Past Similar NRs -
